We will explore the ethical and social implications of AI through the lens of Dr. King’s vision for the Beloved Community — a society where technology, empathy, and justice work in harmony.Panelists include:

  • Dr. Desmond Patton - PIK University Professor, School of Social Policy & Practice and the Waldo E. Johnson Jr. Professor, Annenberg School for Communication
  • Dr. Jessa Lingel - Associate Professor, Annenberg School for Communication,
  • Ms. Isabel Rose Algrant - Assistant Director of Training and Technical Assistance at Actionable Intelligence for Social Policy, School of Social Policy & Practice
  • Dr. Clayton Colman - Director of Curriculum Design, Arts and Sciences On-Line Learning, Penn LPS, Moderator
